Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Sometimes I could get them to be happy with the same brand of
 NB>  NB>> something, but there were times when someone wanted something
 NB>  NB>> specific... that would be noted on the list, of course..  :)

 RH> I understand, there are some things I want only in specific brands.

 NB> Likewise... even if it's just Wegmans' brand... ;)

I can't get them but do want some things in brands I can get. At Lowe's
I get a lot of their Full Circle brand, at Whole Foods I go with the 365
brand quite often.

 NB> better, but only  NB>> have used the one now for many years....

 RH> Mine's more of a stiff plastic exterior envelope, thin, flexible
 RH> plastic dividers and an elastic loop closure. Not the greatest,
 RH> but it works.

 NB> I've seen that type... I've had mine for forever... probably some
 NB> wicked deal I may have had to send off for...

I got mine at Staples a few years ago. Not what I really wanted but it
does the job.

 NB>  NB>> Any time Richard goes by himself to do the shopping, I have to
 NB> send  NB>> a detailed list, down to the specifics...  But since it
 NB> usually is  NB>> a joint effort, he justs trusts me to remember what
 NB> needs getting...  NB>> If it's something particularly that he wants,
 NB> he generally has to  NB>> remember that one...  ;)

 RH> We do a mix of Steve, me, or both. Found we work best with a list,
 RH> general for me, specific for Steve unless it's something like furnace
 RH> filters. Then it's specific for me, general for Steve. (G)

 NB> Groceries we go together...  anything else, pretty much we're each on
 NB> our own...  List or no depends on how much needs remembering, pretty

We didn pretty good stocking up on vitamins and other health/beauty
items the other night at Wal-Mart without a list. Then too, we knew what
we were running low on. Sometimes if we're going to Raleigh, I'll have a
list of stops, and lists of what to pick up at each place. Usually Whole
Foods and Jo-Ann's have the longest lists. (G)


 NB> much, especially for anything non-grocery...  :)  When I'm at camp, I
 NB> tend to make up a list, since remembering once one leaves the premises
 NB> can be a trick somedays...  ;)  And one isn't likely to make the trip
 NB> right when one thinks of something, rather more likely to wait for a
 NB> number of things that need getting, and then make one major trip into
 NB> town...  :)

It makes sense. I used to make lists of what I needed to pack before we
went camping, just to make sure I had everything needed for anticipated
meals.

 NB>  NB>>> And a little pinned note could serve the purpose as well..  :)
 NB>  RH>> Using up all of my pins? (G)
 NB>  NB>> Point.  ;)

 RH> Ouch! Seriousy, I've got a lot more pins than projects.

 NB> One would hope so...  (G)

I've got a lot of projects going tho. (G)


 NB>  RH>> But I have cut out a couple of shirts for Santa since then. I'm
 NB> going  RH>> to take another week to work on projects for me, then
 NB> start working on  RH>> his shirts. Having them pre cut will make
 NB> sewing go faster.
 NB>  NB>> All in due time... and yes, having the cutting already done
 NB> should  NB>> make the sewing part be more efficient...  :)

 RH> The sewing will go very fast, overall. I've made the one pattern a
 RH> good number of times, the other one will go together fast (even with
 RH> modifications).

 NB> Practice makes things go easily, for sure...  as does just general
 NB> competency...  ;)  I'm sure that projects that would bog me down would
 NB> just fly along for you..  :)

I'm planning to have the 4 shirts done by the end of the month, and some
side projects as well. Started on hemming the new slacks I got a couple
of weeks ago, hope to have that finished by the end of the month as well
(5 pair).
